Hi Neilen Marais; unless Mutt is confused, you wrote: I am not an expert so I apologize if this is a waste of the bandwidth. I got my smail_3.2.0.100-2 to work with fetchmail after I had given sendmail the *full* name of my machine mybox.mydomain.net (when it asks something about the 'other names' for this host...-anyway, I manually edited /etc/smail/config and added the above name to the 'hostnames=....' line). Also in the same file the line 'more_hostnames=..' must equal 'localhost' (more_hostnames=localhost').
